how to calculate IFTA miles?

What I do is write my odometer reading down at every state line I cross.

However, you could use the map on your phone. Just go to a state and force it to show the route you traveled from state line to state line. Repeat for each state you traveled in.

 

Does the Garmin Diezel not keep track of the miles in each state for you?
The Rand McNally does..

 

Garmin Dezl keeps track of your ifta miles.

 

I think writing the mileage at each state line is the best way. That way you will have a written record in case an issue comes up.

 

Should have been doing that from the get go!!

 

As they are telling you the Garmin Dezl 760 model keeps track of what states you are in and the number of miles you have driven in each state. However, the company will have a policy on how they want you to keep track. Fastenal is a company that I worked for. We have trip sheets where we wrote down the mileage. It was the same run everyday so we wrote them down in advance. You need to follow your companies guidelines for this issue.

Don't get yourself in a dangerous place by trying to copy the odometer readings while driving. Remember, this is the government. Close is good enough.

 

dang, its as simple as writing down speedometer reading when you cross state lines. imagine that. technology has caused simple things to vanish

 

Get a an electronic voice recorder... l you have to do is record the date 'n time, state entered and odometer.

 

Or use you Bluetooth headset and text it to someone, or to yourself. Hands free, of course.
